Drywall Services by UMC Builders

When it comes to construction or renovation, the term 'drywall' often surfaces as a primary need. Drywall, often known as sheetrock or wallboard, is an essential component of modern construction. UMC Builders, with its expertise in providing top-notch general contracting services, offers premier drywall services that stand out in quality, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. 

What is Drywall?

Drywall is a construction material used to create walls and ceilings. Made from gypsum board – a panel made out of gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper – drywall has become the standard in home and commercial building due to its efficiency, affordability, and ease of installation.

Drywall vs. Plaster

While drywall is the preferred choice for many modern constructions, plaster was the traditional method of wall construction. Here’s a brief comparison:

  • Installation Time: Drywall is faster and less labor-intensive than plaster.

  • Cost: Drywall generally tends to be more cost-effective than plaster.

  • Durability: While plaster walls are thicker and potentially more durable, drywall can still last for years if properly maintained.

  • Repair: Drywall is easier to repair compared to plaster.

Caring for Your Drywall

Maintaining your drywall is crucial for its longevity. Here are some tips:

  1. Regularly check for dents, nail holes, or cracks.

  2. Avoid hanging heavy items that can strain the drywall.

  3. Ensure that your home's foundation is robust, as shifts can cause cracks in the drywall.

  4. When repainting, use a primer first to prevent the paint from soaking into the drywall.
